Love, light and happiness!

October 17th, 2009  |  Published in Living, Personal  |  5 Comments

It’s the fes­ti­val of lights — one I asso­ciate some great child­hood memories.

Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.  ~ Chinese Proverb

Grow­ing up, we had fun with our share of crack­ers and other noise cre­at­ing diver­sions. The crack­ers for­tu­nately no longer seem attrac­tive and we stopped indulging in them quite long ago — besides being pol­lut­ing (both air and noise) some­how it doesn’t seem like a cel­e­bra­tion when you’re doing so much harm to the envi­ron­ment. Besides the fact, there’s always a lot of injuries, burns, and other such asso­ci­ated risks that come with crackers.

Love and light

Lights and can­dles, how­ever, I have a soft cor­ner for and I have sev­eral already all around the house :0)

I love the earthen diyas — they seem to have got­ten really cre­ative these days — I picked a few from a road­side ven­dor a cou­ple of days ago and he had a few piles of dif­fer­ent designs to choose from!

A very happy Diwali to all of you! Let me take this chance to spread some hap­pi­ness, good cheer and light!
